  1. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    So here's what I'm taking away from all this: There is no clear delineation between Smile and Queen, as we'd previously thought. Queen is not a band that rose from the ashes of Smile; it's an evolution of Smile. We ca...

  2. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    So perhaps we don't have Freddie playing with Brian and Roger before Truro, but we have another amazing bit of information in that Mike Grose played bass for Smile, at least for a short while. We have 3/4 of what woul...

  3. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    So we're on to something! Tim Staffell, according to Mike Grose, had left Smile before the shows at PJ's. Freddie Mercury had left Sour Milk Sea, and asked the Staffell-less Smile to fill in for his old band... The ci...

  4. Save Me - it started off so well...

    The best moment in Montreal's "Save Me" is the momentary look of sheer terror on Freddie's face at the beginning of the second verse, as he realizes that he has no clue what the next line is, then the look of utter re...

  5. Has anybody seen any Queen Tribute acts and what did you think of them?

    A couple of years back, I went to see Queen Nation perform at a casino in San Diego. Their regular lead singer was elsewhere, so they brought in Gregory Finsley, the lead singer of Queen for a Day, to fill in. What ha...

  6. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    WOW! I mean, WOW! We have the closest thing yet to proof that Queen were, for at least the "first" show, billed as Smile. Dude, you are the best thing to happen to the study of Queen's history since a guy named Martin...

  7. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    I'm still very excited about this find. I honestly believe this could re-write the history of Queen that we all know, and I strongly believe this--not Truro--could be the first Queen show. So many pieces fall into pla...

  8. IMPORTANT DISCOVERY REGARDING EARLY CONCERTS

    Now that's a first post! Wonderful stuff! So it appears that, based on that ad, we could speculate that Freddie had left Sour Milk Sea already. Now, the question this ad poses is which incarnation of Smile does it ref...

  9. Kiss rocked Hamburg and played BETH

    "Beth" should've left the band with Peter Criss. Seriously, Peter Criss has his weaknesses as a drummer, singer, and all-around contributing member of society, but that song was the one thing about KISS that was defin...

  10. Fat Bottomed Girls Tribute

    An "appropriately British twist" to FBG? Last time I checked, Queen was composed of four more-or-less British guys... Whole Lotta Rosie immediately comes to mind for me as well, and no, it's not a "nice" song. There's...

  11. If you could choose the ultimate set list for a concert

    Ok, I'll do two. One semi-realistic, one if I were dreaming. Each one would run around 105-110 minutes, I figure, the average Queen concert length. First, the realistic one: Flash (tape) The Hero We Will Rock You (fas...

  12. BBC Session 6 MASTER COPY

    Thank you, John, for sharing this with the world, and thank you Pittrek, for facilitating it! A debt of gratitude is owed to you both!

  13. Guess who met up with KISS in London

    I meet up with other managers in my field all the time as a professional courtesy. Sometimes even because I like them as a person. Doesn't mean I think they do their job all that well, nor does it mean I would want to...

  14. URGENT!

    Every time you post a Rick Roll, God kills a kitten.

  15. Tracklist Help

    Does your music-playing software have a shuffle button? Yes? Use it.

  16. KISS - Sonic Boom - Sheffield, England - 5/1/10

  17. Freddie Tribute Concert II

    The first one was just fine for me, thanks.

  18. Flick Of The Wrist + Brighton Rock outro Live

    Ending a song live with a snippet of a different song is nothing new, and in Queen's case, it worked very well. A couple of other examples, Muse plays the coda of Space Dementia as a finale to Knights of Cydonia. Sinc...

  19. KISS - Sonic Boom - Sheffield, England - 5/1/10

    skip wrote: Now this is how you start a show ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV8V8icIxjw Really? Because it looks to me like the same intro they've used for the past 40 years. Some guy shouts, things go boom, band...

  20. New Law Means Illegal Downloaders Face Life Internet Ban

    Honestly, YV, I'm not in favor of adding any such fee to recordable media, and certainly not to hard drives. I believe that music is headed very decidedly back to the past. Back in the old days, artists didn't release...
